Only like 110+ or so the last 7-8 days. It's not bad, just kinda like a sauna outside.

My boss came from Phoenix and he must have said 10x "this is Phoenix hot".

Of course, the heat is much worse in a big black vehicle. Wish I drove the bird today, that thing cools down in seconds.

NO!


I choose to ignore your post


besides... typically whatever it is in SoCal... it's about 10-15 hotter here... so whatever weather you are having there, we'll get in a day or two, but add 10-15 degrees to it

springs are easy to install man! just take ur time and dont let the spindles hang on the brake line! and it may be a PITA if the top of ur strut nut on the shock is rusted! that will complicate things 10x more. thats what happened to mine, it took 2 days to get the damm front done cuz of that! i ended up drilling into the shock shaft!
